Grand View Golf Club

Course was decent shape. They had just punched the greens but that was not weighing in on my rating. This layout is very tight and holes are on top of each other. This perhaps could have been a really nice 9 hole course. It’s on the top of a mountain so many blind holes and short drives. Only played one other course in Pittsburgh on golf trip which was quicksilver which I gave a five rating

Would not recommend this course under any circumstances, unless you're desperate to just find a place to hit golf balls. Unfriendly staff and overpriced. Greens were diseased. Drastic elevation changes, narrow and sloped fairways, and blind shots on almost every hole. Felt like I was playing an adult version of a miniature golf course.

Love this course. Best kept public course in this area.

Cart path only and course is a bunch of hillsides and they were aerating the tee boxes while we were playing.

Very cool course, lots of fun challenges, incredible views, not a flat lie in the place.

Course was in very good shape. Blind shots on at leas 1/3 of the holes. A driver is truly not necessary on this course. Even from the tips, you are better off laying up. It was fun to play placement golf.

Grand View is always a challenge .
The fairways are narrow and there is a lot of blind holes. The par threes in the front nine leave very little room for error. (pick the right club and shoot straight )
There are a few holes where the wind can pick up and will have a strong affect on you shots.
Don't be afraid to lose a ball or two on this course!

Very nice coarse if you like challenging positioning shots.
Lots of dogleg right shots, very well maintained & everyone is very friendly.

The course was in very good condition . Pace of play was good not too crowed not being pushed. Beautiful views of the Mon Valley and the skyline of Pittsburgh , perfect day of golf!

I've played the course before so I knew the challenges of some of the holes. The greens were aerated recently, but overall the course was in good shape. There are some holes with landing areas and others that force you to think about club selection. It is a nice change from the straight away unimaginative lay out of some courses, but not one that I will play regularly.

you'll walk a lot. For someone with COPD, don't go there. Many holes are stay on cart path (the GPS system lets you know when you don't) because many holes have severe sloping. The tees and the fairways were lush. The greens were aerated (knew that going in), and were still pretty nice. I used my 6-iron and 7-iron off the tee a lot for placement purposes, also known as a flat lie. Fantastic views.

Drove 2 hours to play Grand View. The course is very unique. I've played scores of courses and there are very few that compare.
The course is short but doesn't play like it. Course layout demands accurate iron play from any tee instead of your traditional "grip it and rip it" approach on most courses. It was my first time but the starter was helpful in offering advice, the cart GPS were fist rate, and markers were sufficiently placed.
The elevation changes are severe on several holes making club selection crucial.
The views throughout the round are spectacular, the grounds were replete with local wildlife, and the course was extremely well maintained.
We played on a nearly empty course as the Steelers had a home game and the weather was wet. Despite a few moderate downpours, the greens stayed firm, the fairways (recently aerated) did not bog down and there was no standing water anywhere.
Lunch buffet was available to golfers at $12 paper person to boot!
We will be back and hopefully get good weather out next trip in.

They call this the Monster on the Mon, for good reason. This is not the longest course, by any means, but it's a lot of fun. Elevation changes, ravines, narrow fairways, blind holes, there's something for everyone here. Bring extra balls when you play it. You'll need them. The people are great, the carts are first-rate, the course is always well maintained, the restaurant is excellent, and the view is truly "grand". Put this one on your bucket list. (One explanation- the price I paid was for 9 holes, Senior player rate.)

The course was in great shape and we had a really good round.

Would rather have played the course before ... a few blind shots that local knowledge would have helped. Still ... great views and greens. Didn't appreciate the maintenance guy working on the tees while we were playing. I get the fact that the tees had been aerated the night before, but seriously ... pulling out the tee blocks before we get to the tee? Unacceptable. This guy was basically telling us that his job is more important than our golf experience. Then, later in our round ... he was teaching a new employee how to rake a bunker. While we were playing the hole. Unbelievable ... haven't seen that in my entire life. This guy never even acknowledged us, let alone apologized. Won't be back.

I found the tee boxes had just been air rated . It is good to see someone is taking care of the grounds .The grass was cut the greens were fast the views were great . This course is tough if you do not manage your game .This golf course is well worth your time to play it.

Course and greens in good shape

This course will challenge you, and will give you fantastic views all at the same time!
If you are just starting out golfing, this is not the course to start out on. But once you can play here and play off of any kind of lie, this will prepare you for any other harder course that's out there. The course is in Amazing Shape, and the Greens are ALWAYS in Great Condition! This is a Must play! Once you play it, you'll be hooked!

The course has a nice layout and is well maintained. The last time I went, the booked tee times really close together but they fit me in last minute so I didn't complain.
